BERKELEYSIDE: Some of the kids who discover the tiny door tucked snugly into the root of a tree on Cedar St. in Berkeley think it leads to Children’s Fairyland in Oakland. Others are simply delighted it’s there at all.

The existence of the door was brought to our attention by Berkeleysider Lisa Cole. Cole says her husband found the fairy door on his commute one day.

“We took our little ones to see it and they were so excited!” she wrote. “If you open the door there is a teeny animal inside. I have no idea who did it or why but it is special.”
